The grands are too old for the tanks now, but they still love the pooping chickens and the bees.

I can see this isn’t believable for many, and that’s totally fine.
If it’s not believable then it goes back to the original question. How are firework shops/tents economically feasible? If the mark ups aren’t outrageously high (ie, it costs next to nothing to manufacture them), how is it that these things can survive?
Are all fireworks tents owned by Walter White?
Jump on I35 and go to Eagleville, they will give you a solid price and for every dollar you spend they will get you .50 cents of free stuff.
The 4th is my youngest brothers favorite holiday, he will spend 2 or 3 grand on fireworks, and has a crew of about five other people and himself lighting them off. Plenty of food and drink before hand and then the fireworks, generally he will have 100 to 200 people there for the show.
Best part for him, turns around and writes most of it off his taxes, as entertaining clients, which I suppose he is.

They're all over the place in Omaha, some have buy 1 get 4 free, some are buy 1 get 3 free.
It must cost about 25 cents to make a package of fireworks

How would it be believable that a business makes more than the customer pays for a product? You said a fireworks stand makes $300-$500 on a $100 purchase - how is that possible unless the manufacturer is paying them $200-$400 for those fireworks that they sold for $100?
You had a massive typo with a $ instead of a % symbol.
But yes, it costs next to nothing to manufacture them. I suspect it's closer to 800%-900%.
I think was saying the stand pays $100 for the inventory and then on that $100 of inventory they sell it for $300-$500.
They sell the same fireworks in Missouri that they sell here. Did fireworks for years, bought in many states, as far as size they are all consumer and all the same grade.
Now some places have better selection and some brands have better stuff, but consumer grade is consumer grade if it can be sold in Missouri, Wisconsin, South Dakota, North Dakota or anywhere else, it can be sold here.
The only thing that differs is length of time they can sell, and possibly one brand or another, and they have bigger stores because they allow year round sales.
Best bang for you buck....buy wholesale.
